Exploring Cape York – Oct 2016

Club 4×4 is going to Cape York in 2016, it’s going to be an awesome trip.

We’ll spend a bit over 3 weeks exploring Cape York. We’ll be visiting some of the iconic sites in Cape York including the Old Telegraph Line and a trip to Thursday Island. The plan is to start in Cooktown and work our way north ending up at the northern most tip of the Australian mainland. Then work our way back south taking in many of the wonderful sites that the cape has to offer. The trip will finish in Laura.
